Re: [Jabref-users] BibTeX key generator

[Jon Å. S. <jon...@gm...>]

This seems to give a different result for you than for me. When I use the
same command for generating a bibtexkey. Since shorttitle returns the three
first words of the title in one word (for instance: title: Quantifying
Errors Introduced, the output becomes
"Aarsnes2012Quantifyingerrorintroduced" with the key pattern:
"[auth][year:(unk)][shorttitle]". If I then run
"[auth][year][shorttitle:appr]", the output becomes "Aarsnes2012Q").

For me it looks like what you get is just what I want, especially if DMS is
the first letter in the three first words in the title for your example.

Which version of jabref are you running? I run 2.10 (the latest stable
version).

Kind regards,
Jon Åge
